Vallejo Station Parking Management and
VALLEJO STATION PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN Public Workshop
May 31, 2012
Welcome!
Agenda
Project Overview Summary of Inputs to Recommendations Waterfront Parking Principles Recommendations Q & A / Discussion Next Steps
What we will accomplish tonight…
Purpose of tonight’s workshop Review garage project / context Share and Discuss current recommendations Answer your questions
Existing Context
Successful ferry service = large / peaked demand for parking 22% of Downtown land = parking lots
Garage Project Details
Garage construction paid for with external grants Parking prices will pay operations & maintenance costs: Security, cleaning, enforcement Goals: Charge the lowest price possible to offset O & M costs
Garage Project Benefits
Increases certainty, convenience, and security Located
closer to the ferry terminal More secure environment
Allows for redevelopment opportunities Reduces
wasted waterfront land for parking lots Revitalization of downtown / waterfront Creates more active uses and more “eyes on the street”
Parking Management Study
Inputs to Recommendations
Parking supply: Number of on- and off-street spaces within ferry and downtown study area Parking demand: Peak parking on weekday, weekend, Giants game day, future demand (est.) Parking turnover information
Best practices in comparable communities and ferry terminals Financial impact analysis
Feedback from many stakeholders

Parking System Guiding Principles 1. 2.
3.
4.
5.
Safe and secure at all times for all users. Simple-to-use system so motorists can park as quickly as possible. Set lowest parking price possible to cover costs. Minimize impacts of parking prices on ferry riders via discount over daily price. Ensure good value for priced parking.
Parking System Guiding Principles 6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
Manage downtown and waterfront parking as a single system. Increase shared parking to better utilize existing parking resources. Minimize commuter parking spillover into downtown-adjacent neighborhoods. Minimize impacts of commuters parking in shortterm spaces for downtown shoppers/visitors. Provide signage, enforcement so all motorists can understand rules, are treated equally.
Parking Pricing Model
Approach Determine
Operations & Management (O&M) costs Data shows large numbers of: Frequent
/ monthly parkers
Commuters primarily
Occasional
/ daily parkers
Day trips to SF, Giants games, etc. Plus: visitors to Vallejo waterfront/downtown (special events, farmer’s market)
Operations & Maintenance Costs
Full range of potential costs considered:
Maintenance
Operations
Light fixtures, deck coatings
Labor
Lighting, electricity, water, sewer
Replacement
Cleaning, painting, lighting, power Mechanical, plumbing, air exchange Sprinklers, elevators, landscaping Cameras, pay stations
Security, janitorial, building maintenance
Guidestar was to include essential components (no gold plating) Rigorous, robust, and extended project team discussion and analysis of multiple scenarios Result is highly conservative O & M estimate to accounts for all City’s potential costs
Parking Pricing Model Analyzed
annual number of ferry riders and price changes from 2001-2011 As monthly pass prices rose by 57%, ridership decreased by 31% Monthly ratio = 10 : 3.9 Daily ratio = 10 : 7
Price
Elasticity

Demand
3.9%
Parking Pricing Model
Confirmed Information Parking
supply & demand by day (Typical weekday, Giants game day, weekend) Elasticity of Demand Inflation
Iterative Refinement Process Operations,
Maintenance, Replacement, Labor Costs
Similar to other models deployed in: Union
City, South Hayward, San Diego, Riverside, San Marcos, Davis, and others
Parking Pricing Model
Finding the “Sweet Spot” – Frequent / Monthly price (e.g. commuter) vs. Occasional / Day price (e.g. Giants game) Results: Monthly
parkers (e.g. regular ferry commuters): $20/month Daily parkers (e.g. Giants fans, waterfront visitors, and other occasional parkers): $5/day

gate arms at drive entrances to slow down vehicle traffic Pay stations located on major pedestrian routes to ferry, bus terminal
Recommended Payment Technology Payment tied to license plate number Monthly parking
Purchase parking on-line or at pay station or by phone Drive in, park, leave
Daily/one-time parking
Pay at payment station using wide variety of methods
Parking Payment Options
Many payment methods to speed up transaction Cash (coins, bills)(some machines) Credit / debit card Pay by cell phone
On line pre-payment
Pay by Phone on line service
Parking Enforcement and Security
Enforcement through license-plate reader technology “AutoVu” Camera mounted on police vehicle Provides mobile presence in the garage and lots
